Research & development

Building the next generation of drone services.

HOGUE DRONE SERVICES is developing concepts for cargo delivery, remote operations and Canadian winter conditions. The work starts with the job: what needs to move, where it needs to go and what the aircraft must withstand.

Delivery & northern access

DRONERX and FETCH explore small-cargo delivery, secure payload containers and handover points. Heavy-lift and Northern Supply planning considers urgent supplies, remote destinations and routes where ground access is difficult.

Cold-weather systems

Research priorities include battery temperature management, weather protection, payload handling and dependable communications. Smart-dock concepts bring charging, shelter and remote mission preparation into the same operating plan.

From concept to field trial

Each proposed system needs a defined route, payload, test plan and operating limits. Engineering assessment, measured flight performance and the required approvals guide the move toward a partner demonstration.

Explore our R&D programs Discuss a development project

Development programs are concepts and design targets. Availability depends on testing, partners, funding and applicable approvals.

PET DETECTIVES

Eyes in the sky when every minute matters.

Rapid intake, legal airspace check, search-grid planning, visual/thermal sweeps where useful, live owner contact and documented sightings.

$299 first two hours

Then $60/hour. Search service only; recovery cannot be guaranteed.
